Hi, I am Aditi Mehta, I'm pursuing Master of Cyber Security. I like binge-watching TV shows and movies Shrinking being my fav at the moment), chilling at the beach reading a book, and going on small hikes. I am also passionate about food, I would not be able to pick just one meal to eat for the rest of my life. Looking forward to meeting you all and making new friends!!

I'm studying a Bachelor of Information Technology, majoring in Software Development and Cybersecurity. What hobby or pastime gives you the most enjoyment? I love playing badminton – there's something about the fast pace and strategy that keeps me hooked. When I'm not on the court, you'll find me at the gym staying active, watching movies, or hanging out with friends. I also enjoy creating digital content and graphics, which lets me blend creativity with my tech background. What is your spirit animal? Probably a golden retriever – friendly, energetic, always ready to help out, and genuinely happy to see people! What are some of your favourite TV shows/books/anime/movies? I'm big on thrillers and horror – love the suspense and adrenaline rush they bring. Always down for a good scary movie or edge-of-your-seat series. If you had a life motto, what would it be? "Show up, be kind, and make it count." I believe in being present for people and making every interaction meaningful. If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pizza, no question. Pizza is just the perfect food – versatile, comforting, and always hits the spot!

Hellooo!!! My name is Anshita, but if you’d like you can call me Anshi (it’s easier to remember). I am currently studying Nutrition Science at Clayton. Some of my favourite pass times including reading, painting and writing. A very steep contrast to my STEM academics. Speaking of which, my absolute favourite book series was A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. Loved it since the moment it started. Lastly my number one got to for motivation is this specific line: “If you want something done, do it yourself.”

Hi, I’m Anya Grover, I'm studying a Bachelor of Computer Science. I love painting, but if I had to pick one thing that truly relaxes me, it would be cooking. Trying new dishes feels incredibly therapeutic to me it’s my way of unwinding and experimenting creatively. I’m always curious in the kitchen and love exploring different flavours. My all-time favourite TV show is Gossip Girl, mostly because I enjoy a little drama, and honestly, a little drama never hurts. One life lesson that’s really stayed with me comes from my maths teacher: life goes on anyway. So, it’s our choice whether we face it with optimism or keep sulking. That idea has shaped my outlook, and it’s something I try to live by. When it comes to food, Indian food will always be my comfort. If I had to choose one dish, dal makhani would definitely be up there – whether I could eat it forever is debatable, but it will always feel like home.

Hey! I’m Arnav. I study Computer Science, but outside of uni I enjoy travelling and exploring new places whenever I get the chance. I like experiencing different cultures, trying new food, and just getting a change of scenery. In my downtime, I’m a big anime fan (Naruto is one of my favourites) and I enjoy relaxing with music or a good show. I’m someone who values growth, consistency, and good energy. My life motto would be “Keep moving forward.” Always happy to connect, share experiences, and be part of a friendly, supportive community.

Heyo, I'm Brian! I'm doing my Masters in Chemical Engineering, and I've grown to love and enjoy it over the last 1.5 years. When I'm bored and free, you can find me browsing thift shops and vinyl sales (I have 9 at the moment), watching football (COYGGGG), using my digicam, and going on 2AM walks in the CBD (my favorite). I'm pretty active in Monash, so you'll see me around campus working on my research project, volunteering, meeting with my student team and club, and chilling in our common room often. I'm down to talk music and sport at all times, and I love pool, so I'll ensure you aren't bored at uni. See ya!
